“The toughest decision I’ve had to make in my career. My time racing for @FCHonda has come to an end. This team has become family to me and will forever be thankful for the past five and a half years we got to spend together. Thank you Ziggy, Jeff and Mike for taking a chance on me and believing in me every step of the way. The support was always there and will cherish the memories and accomplishments we were able to share together. I wish nothing but the best for this team, the sponsors and everyone that has been involved on this journey! It’s been an honor. THANK YOU @FCHonda @Honda_Powersports_US."

In his final 250MX season with GEICO Honda, Hampshire finished fourth overall and landed on the moto podium three times.
